Hey, what do you want for your fast-approaching birthday from parental units? Grandma will get the jersey, at least once I iron out her credit card problem. We need ideas for our gift. Amazing to think you will hit the quarter-century mark already. So nice to have had you around to grace our world. Looking forward to the next three quarters, or as much of it as we'll also be around to enjoy.
Heather brought delicious homemade lemon bars to work this morning. I didn't manage to resist.
I really like the small ladies Camelback. I liked the REI ladies pack also, but the Camelback felt better on my back. You're right, you really do need to try them to see what suits your anatomy best. I do recommend going with the ladies' style as it is smaller and would better fit your frame. The water bladder to hold 1 1/2-2 liters is a useful thing if you plan to do longer hikes, though it's okay to just carry a water bottle if you think that's enough for you. It's a preference thing. You might also want to check REI Outlet online before you go; if they have any good sales, you might be able to try the bag in the store and order online if it's identical. I think we just found some good packs on sale in the store so we could get them right away.

I'll go to REI sometime in the next week and pick out a backpacking pack? I'd like one, but that's something you kind of need to get fit for. Thoughts?
The only problem with the small Camelback (Keaton has the small guys' version) is that it's not big enough for overnight backpacking trips, which is what I'd ideally like to do. I'm thinking more of a traditionally-sized pack with space for a sleeping bag and so forth.
